Hi! I'm Kristen, a patient and dedicated educator with over 30 years of experience helping students from early childhood through college succeed. I specialize in elementary reading instruction, focusing on phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. My background includes extensive experience working with students who have special learning needs, and I'm passionate about creating an engaging, supportive environment where every learner feels confident and capable. In addition to reading support, I also tutor high school and college students in business, writing, and basic computer skills. I hold a Bachelor's and MBA in Business Administration and am TESOL certified, allowing me to support diverse learners effectively. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, meaningful, and tailored to each student's unique strengths. Together, we'll build the skills and confidence needed for lifelong success!
